The rise of Samsung has brought a lot of pressure to Apple. It is said that Apple is planning to accelerate the pace of new product launch. The iPad 4 is the beginning of Apple's shortening the update cycle of its products. According to Taiwan media, iPhone parts suppliers have begun to submit new samples to Apple, which is suspected to be the next generation iPhone 5S mobile phones will quietly start small-scale production in December this year. At present, the details of the iPhone 5S have not been determined. However, according to the experience of iPhone 4 to 4S changes, the improvement of the iPhone 5S over the iPhone 5 should not be very obvious. Let's guess the general configuration of this phone.
Concept Map
Screen size unchanged
After previous generations of 3.5-inch products, Apple finally used a 4-inch display on the iPhone 5, with a resolution of 1136x640 pixels. Although the pixel density remains the same and the material is still of IPS type, the color performance of the iPhone 5 is not less than that of the previous iPhone 4S. The color is more colorful, but it does not appear too exaggerated. In contrast, the screen size and performance of iPhone 5 have made great progress. In the next generation of 5S, Apple should not change the existing situation rashly. The screen size and resolution are more likely to maintain the existing specifications of iPhone 5.
Quad core A15 architecture processor
Although the dual core processor of iPhone 5 is fast enough, as other products in the industry step into the four core era, Apple will follow suit. At present, the processor of iPhone 5 adopts dual core architecture, with the main frequency up to 1.3GHz, which is improved on the standard A9 architecture. In the Android field, Samsung, HTC, domestic Xiaomi, Meizu and other manufacturers' products have been equipped with quad core processors. Under this situation, Apple will probably develop its own processor based on A15 architecture and apply it to the iPhone 5S. From iPhone 4 to 4S, Apple has completed the transformation from single core to dual core. On iPhone 5 to 5S, Apple may also perform the multi-core transformation again.
10 megapixel rear camera
Apple has equipped a 1.2 megapixel front camera and an 8 megapixel rear camera on iPhone 5. In the next iPhone 5S, Apple will probably bring a 10 megapixel rear camera upgrade, which may be about 12 million pixels, while the front camera may still maintain 1.2 million pixels. Since the iPhone 4S, Apple has started to use Sony's backlight camera on its mobile phones, which is directly related to Sony's own camera technology advantages. At present, among the top BSI sensor manufacturers such as Sony, OmniVision and Samsung, Sony leads other manufacturers with SOI substrate sensors, and has obvious advantages. Although its price is high, mainstream flagship models are equipped one after another, iPhone 4S、iPhone 5、 Samsung Galaxy S3 and others are typical cases. It is expected that the camera made by Sony will still be indispensable on the iPhone 5S, and the pixel will also be greatly improved.
No wireless charging technology
Recently, wireless charging technology has attracted wide attention, and consumers are also expecting this feature to appear on the iPhone. However, the author believes that the iPhone 5S is not the most appropriate time. Apple has a strong influence and may eventually become the ultimate winner of wireless charging technology. However, at present, the wireless charging technology standards are still in a state of confusion. The three mainstream standards PLA, Qi and A4WP are incompatible with each other, and the experience effect is not excellent. Taking Lumia 920 as an example, once the user takes down the phone from the charging board, charging will not continue. For a company like Apple that pays attention to perfect experience, it is obvious that the current technological progress has not yet reached the best time.
NFC function? Unlikely
Although many Android phones have been equipped with NFC functions, NFC is more gimmicky than practical due to its limited use range, which seems to have some similarities with the wireless charging function on Android phones. At present, Apple has developed the Passbook application, and said that it is more practical than NFC. Next, Apple will continue to strengthen the scope of Passbook applications. On the iPhone 5S, there should be no NFC.
Summary:
Like the previous iPhone 4S, if Apple will launch the iPhone 5S, we will try not to expect too much improvement. 5S itself is an enhanced version, and there will be no obvious changes, so it is unlikely that too many gimmicky features will appear. For mass users, they should expect more rationally.
